Preparation to Protect Construction Sites
The construction sites contain valuable and expensive material that is why it becomes significantly vulnerable to the theft and vandalism. Although the construction sites are an easy target because there are many places from where the thieves can slip unnoticed, there exist many construction site safety plans that can be utilized to decrease the number of instances from happening. Moreover, the threats to construction site’s safety are not only limited to the thieves, but it also includes natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes which cause more damages that can cost the contractors a lot.
Installation of Fences
The installation of fences all around the construction site can discourage the thieves from gaining access to the construction site. Moreover, the usage of safety alarm or electrical wires can also discourage the thieves. If you are unable to fence the entire site, then you can only fence the important areas such as storage facilities.
Motion Detection Lights
Such motion detecting lights are significantly important in the case that your construction site is situated in a place that is far away from the public areas. Motion detecting lights are excellent for construction sites that are in distant places because if someone tries to gain access through any mean, the lights will go off, signaling the security guard to stay vigilant on those weak and vulnerable spots.
Protection against Natural Disasters
Natural disasters such as earthquakes are very unpredictable and can occur any time of the year, but this doesn’t mean that no step should be taken to mitigate the damaging effects. The construction companies should study and evaluate the land where they want to carry out a construction project. Moreover, the construction companies should incorporate seismic designs that will absorb most of the shocks generated by the earthquake.
The construction sites can be a deadly location in the wake of an earthquake, but few measures can be taken to save the construction site from any further damage. The heavy machinery, cement sacks, and the structural steels such as beams, channels, and HSS should be secured in such a manner that there isn’t any danger of these items falling on the passerby, thus causing more havoc. They can either be guarded or secured in a manner that it doesn’t cause more problems in the event of an earthquake.
